Another Working Weekend

Saturday ... another rainy day. I'm starting to think that this has to be one of the worst summers I've experienced in Calgary in a long, long time. Perhaps not the worst ever, but it's been rather cold and damp. Our hot spell was short lived and I'm hoping we will experience some nicer weather again before summer is over.

I started at work this morning at 7:15 which is a late weekend start for me. I did appreciate the extra half hour sleep in this morning. We rented "Weeds" Season 2 and 3 last night. We watched disc one of season two last night and I think I stayed up a little too late. Jillian came home around midnight and I was still up to say good-night and have a quick visit.

I gave her the little religious icon bracelets I bought from Aldo shoes when I was out with Penny the other night. She thought they were great. For being non-religious Jillian and I sure like religious themed things ... I know, we are going straight to hell for it. Okay perhaps it's not so much religion, in principle, that I have trouble with ... it's organized religion that gets me going. I'm all for being spiritual but I don't think you need a church for that ... or a leader ... or a observed holiday. These things become part of our traditions ... but in my belief I don't think they make people more religious or spiritual in general. With that being said the bracelets were damn cute and I just had to buy them for someone who "gets it".

Tomorrow I'm working again and I'm missing the Tattoo Show. I've missed this show for years and years on end. How can it be that I am always working, or away, when it's in town? I've been wanting to check it out for a long time now ... see the art ... see the crazy people too. I still want to get a tattoo on my foot but I haven't exactly gone out of my way to check out the shops or artists to make this a reality. Perhaps this is something I should get going on in the near future.

Car update: Wayne came over to our house after Jonathan made a few attempts to get a hold of him on the phone. He came in carrying a few papers, looking very nervous. Jonathan says Wayne couldn't even look him in the eye when talking to him. Wayne had some strange ideas and the conversation was strained. Needless to say, I didn't stick around to hear any of it. Bottom line ... we are now going through insurance. It's a done deal. Jonathan called me this morning here at work to tell me he's called our insurance to get the ball rolling. Finally, we can get this behind us. It's been 3 weeks today since the accident ... it's time.
